William F Browne was a straightforward winner of the Book Online At Dundalkstadium.com Claiming Race in Dundalk for Ger Lyons and Gary Carroll.
The 7/4 favourite tracked the pace and powered away from his rivals approaching the final furlong to score by two and a-quarter lengths for Mrs Lynne Lyons and Sean Jones. Ze Do Asfalto finished second at 5/2 and was a length and a-quarter in front of Handmedownmybible (50/1).
Assistant trainer Shane Lyons said: "Delighted with him.
"He just got a bit lonely in the end there.
"He ticked a lot of boxes there and, if he's not claimed, there is a nursery here in a couple of weeks and we will see what the handicapper does.
"If not (the nursery), we will put him away for next year and have a lot of fun with him.
"He'll get further, he's definitely a mile and a-quarter horse.
"We'll have a lot of fun with him - a nice, genuine horse and something to look forward to."
